最后,你可以从阅读一名被释放的奴隶,威廉·约翰逊的日记来了解他们的日常生活,他的联排住房被保存下来。

Step back into time at Mississippi’s Natchez National Historic Park. The Natchez American Indians were a mound-building matrilineal society of American Indians that all but disappeared after Europeans began arriving. However, their culture is preserved at Natchez National Historic Park. Here you can also catch a glimpse into antebellum Southern life.
The Forks of the Road, formerly a prospering slave market and a large cotton plantation, is preserved for visitors to appreciate the extreme wealth generated by Southern cotton slave-owners, as well as the sheer breadth of the industry.
Finally, you can get a sense of everyday life reading the diaries of a freed slave, William Johnson, whose townhouse is preserved.
